What is retarded is how some states recognize it and some don't leading to mass confusion for anyone who deals with clients in those states.

And then there's Indiana...

The U.S. state of Indiana is split between Eastern and Central time zones. The official dividing line has moved progressively west from its original location on the Indiana–Ohio border, to a position dividing Indiana down the middle, and finally to its current location along much of the Indiana–Illinois border. Being on the western frontier of the Eastern time zone resulted in opposition from many in the state to observing daylight saving time for decades. The 2005 decision by the Indiana General Assembly to implement daylight saving time remains controversial.

CSB time: in the mid-90s, I was sent to Lafayette to conduct software training at a chain of rent-to-own stores located in the northeastern part of the Hoosier State. Unfortunately for me, we worked over the weekend of the "fall back" to standard time.

Imagine trying to coordinate a Sunday morning conference call between locations that were not only in two different time zones, but either did or did not observe DST - and all were within a hundred mile radius.

Here's hoping Florida's Sunshine Act will spark a national movement to do away with this nonsense once and for all....
